As the saying goes, if it smells like bullshit and looks like bullshit, it probably is bullshit. Putting sugar on it doesn't make it a brownie.

I think anybody who watched The Apprentice knows what he's like. He's in it to win it for sure.

James is obviously playing to the GBP, and doing a very good job of it too. He deserves to win.

I don't think you can say categorically that anyone is misreading the situation unless you are inhabiting James' head.
It is quite easy to read James, he is not complicated. I do not mean that as a insult.

James is such a passive aggressive, pompous, sanctimonious asshole. A real rat. "I truly tried to prevent this day from coming." "... Teach a lesson" "... Make you learn." Judge, jury and executioner. He's been setting Austin up for a fall for the last two and half weeks by using Austin's "outbursts" as a platform to grandstand and whtie knight. It's so bloody transparent. If he wins, I'll take ill.

If anything Austin is Patrick Bateman
I don't think you've read American Psycho, have you?

If I was to ever act like Austin does, I would hope my friends told me straight.
Of course, but you wouldn't want them to stab you in the back, would you?

I agree. I feel so sick about James and his tactics.

Well the wording of that particular sentence implies that James had previously thought beforehand of the day he would nominate Austin.
He makes it sound as though it was inevitable and out of his hands. Yet again washing his hands of any sort of ownership.

It's just a 'nice' way of saying that he was waiting for the opportunity.

How interesting to see James's downfall. Personally, I think he's ok. Austin is the really sneaky one. Those tears were just waiting all the while in the background, James's 'disloyalty' was the catalyst he'd been waiting for. And now you're all going to buy his sad story of his painful upbringing? F*ck me. Anyone who savages women by questioning their parenting skills is a grade A ****ing **** and there are no excuses. Give me James any day over that. And Jenna can get to high **** for her comment over Natasha '[having another baby by yet another man'. Seriously, if that's your mindset - go jump off a cliff.

I love James, but I don't really think he could have nominated Austin for his own good.

If he had known that noms had been shown, or it was face to face nominations, then I could understand it. Or like Austin said, had actually told him he had nominated him.

But, the only thing that was gonna happen was that Austin could have been evicted on Tuesday and he would have gone out and seen James nominate him.

Some of James' decisions, or at least the reasoning, aren't half a load of tripe! He really needs to work on his sales technique, bless him.
Exactly, doesn't he know that the best sales people have a lot of empathy?
I'm not particularly a fan of Austin but I can imagine how betrayed he feels when his supposedly friend in the house nominates him.
I don't believe James reasons at all. I've opened my eyes to him.

Goodness, that's a lot of asterisks.

I don't buy that Austin is sneaky at all. For all his faults he clearly wears his heart on his sleeve.

Heart on his sleeve? Really? I just see a calculating arrogant **** [just asterisks, insert your own epithet ]

The worst thing is Austen is so needy I think he will forgive it. It's quite abusive

Wow. Patronising much. I have actually. I find behaviour like Austin's more disturbing than James which is why I said what I said.

His anger issues are beyond a joke now.

I was almost choking on his magnanimity. He truly is the saint we didn't know we needed but it's ok, he'll tend to us and our sins as soon as he's finished biting off some bloke's ear down the pub.
Perfectly put

James knew it was fake and was not entertaining it.
Absolutely. He'd heard it all before. Austin was spouting lines from his own play.

James wants Austin out as wants to win. He would steamroller over anyone to get what he wants. He has played Austin and if such a good friend would not have nominated him. Really liked James but have worked with people like him, they use you for their gain then stab you in the back. my opinion only
I was thinking that myself, BB is a game and that has to be taken into consideration. But James is that person that would hang anyone out to get where he wants to be. His Body language said it all, arms crossed guarded against any come back. James is that person that would throw anyone under the bus to get the better job , pay rise or position.

I was think that could be a lot of votes he has just lost if he doesn't find a different way to play out his game plan.

He could have played the noms a lot better in a light hearted way.

Who really gives a **** whether there's an ulterior motive? He liked him last week. Now Austin is acting like a prick and he doesn't like him anymore. It's as simple as that. And, if that isn't the reason, I couldn't care less. If his nomination helps to get rid of such a nasty piece of work, I'm happy enough.
The fairly major flaw with this argument is that Austin has been acting a prick since the first night. It was ONLY when he called James out on picking Janice and his bs speeches afterwards about his granddaddy and poor fragile Chloe that James decided that Austin's prickishness was too much to take.

Funny that............................


The reality is that the overwhelming majority of posters on here decided in the first week or so that a toe-rag with assault convictions, including an incident where he bit another man's ear, is a sweet and gentle young man.

You really do have to wonder how people's minds work.

That isnt anger, he was speaking the truth, the other all by Jenna cant see it.

I find Austins behaviour fine, especially when you are trying to point a bad trait out to someone about a nasty, manipulative person and they are so thick not to take in what you are saying, yes you get frustrated with them, nothing wrong with that.

Once again, you've hit the nail on the head.

I'm sorry you feel patronised but if you've read American Psycho you should recognise that being quick to anger or volatile isn't a defining trait of Patrick Bateman. What is, however, is a distinct lack of emotion along with a highly constructed 'reasonable' facade.

Psychopaths work hard so that their behaviour doesn't disturb you. That isn't Austin.

No Austen just your common garden dysfunctional person. But that does sound like someone I the house
